Here's what I read from January 1 - 31, 2010. You'll find a lot of YA and MG -- okay, exclusively YA and MG. I make no excuse!
I like contemporary, dark, horror, fantasy, dystopian (my fave) under the YA umbrella. I have to say that lighter, happier, middle-class stuff in the vein of Maureen Johnson and Sarah Dessen aren't my favorites. (Not that they aren't great books -- they are. They're just not my style. I'm more twisted...)
